  • Oscar night is upon us, and it promises to be the biggest one yet for twitter followers. The award show is trying to increase buzz by observing a growing trend in social media: viewers simultaneously tweeting on their favorite TV shows while they watch them. According to Bluefin Labs, a social Media analytics company, during last year’s broadcast, 87% of all Twitter comments were about the Academy Awards. That’s close to a million tweets during the three hour long broadcast.

    This year followers will have the opportunity to provide on air commentary as well as on Oscar.com by using hash tags “#BestDressed”, “#oscars”, and “#redcarpetqa”.  Tim Gunn and Nina Garcia will be reading tweets on the Oscars Red Carpet Live Show on ABC.

    Twitter will also showcase Live-tweet casting featuring commentary from numerous TV and music personalities.

    Follow these tweeters for the latest Oscar news:

    @TheAcademy covers all the behind the scenes action.

    Host @BillyCrystal will be tweeting before, during, and after the ceremony.
